Firecrawl Scrape

Scrape web pages through the Firecrawl MCP server by running the repository script scripts/mcp/firecrawl_scrape.py, returning content as markdown (default), HTML, or plain text, with a --search option that substitutes a search query for a direct URL.

Tasks

Scrape a specific web page by URL and retrieve its content in markdown (default), HTML, or plain text
Run a web search query as an alternative to a direct URL and scrape the resulting content

Inputs

URL of the page to scrape, passed via --url
Output format via --format: markdown (default), html, or text
Search query via --search, used instead of a direct URL

Outputs

Scraped page content returned in the requested format (markdown, html, or text)
Scraped content for search results when --search is used in place of --url

Limitations and checks

Output format is limited to markdown, html, or text; no structured-output mode is documented, so the "extract structured data" use case named in the skill file has no documented mechanism behind it
--search replaces the direct URL input rather than combining with it
The command cannot run without the firecrawl MCP server and FIRECRAWL_API_KEY
The documented command depends on the repository's runtime harness and script paths, so it runs within that project context
Confirm the firecrawl server entry exists in mcp_config.json and FIRECRAWL_API_KEY is set before invoking the script
Verify uv is installed so "uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/mcp/firecrawl_scrape.py" can execute
Check that any --format value supplied is one of markdown, html, or text
Smoke-test with a known URL from the skill's examples, such as https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html, and confirm content comes back in the expected format
